Verdict
Anjungan Beach Resort & Spa sits across the road from the beach at Teluk Nipah, the strip of chalets and small hotels on Pangkor’s west coast. Coral Beach is about five minutes’ walk away, and Pulau Giam, a snorkelling spot, lies a few hundred metres offshore.
Rooms are in blocks of 8 to 12: standard twins, deluxe rooms for two or three, duplex family rooms for four, and special deluxe rooms facing the bay. There is a small pool, a jacuzzi and a children’s wading pool. Guests score it 8.3 from 894 reviews on Booking.com and 8.4 from 3,211 on HotelsCombined.
The catch is the service hours. Rates are room only, breakfast is à la carte, and the resort serves no lunch or dinner except to groups of 50 or more. The spa has closed despite the name, reception works 8 am to 5 pm, and Wi-Fi runs 9 am to 10 pm. The most common complaint in reviews is a musty smell in the rooms. The resort asks for bookings two weeks ahead, or a month ahead for public holidays.
Good for
Couples and families who want the Teluk Nipah beaches and the island-hopping boats on the doorstep.
Not for
Anyone who wants meals, a spa or a late arrival handled at the resort, or who minds a damp smell.
